Enough time has passed that the 1st episode from season 4 of Strange New Worlds is now open for memery goodness. Episode 2 "The Griffin Incident" on the 30th, just in time for ~~Hallow~~ Hemmer-ween!
TNG s6e16 "Starship Mine" aka "Star Trek Does a Die Hard" and SNW s4e1 "Valles Marineris"
Edit: Season 6 of TNG, not 7
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

What's the largest thing they can replicate?
There are industrial replicators, only ever shown on Prodigy.
if an engineer was even remotely clever, it would be a trivial, if tedious matter to replicate entire starships. there's absolutely no reason that the Enterprise or any other SF ship could use replication technology to regenerate the same way borg cubes do.
Even ignoring that application, you could still build a replication platform in space and just nudge things out of the build envelope for an infinite-z type set up, building off the end. at which point you would only be constrained by physical material limits, supplying the energy/matter necessary; and the X-Y size of the build envelope. and lets be clear, there's no reason they can't 'tile' the envelope to expand that as necessary. As for the resources necessary, park an asteroid off the other face of the platform and convert that to energy to power and supply the fabrication station.
Replicators are one of the things they never really thought all they way through. it was a TNG-era answer to explain away some tedium. but seriously. Imagine a federation ship equipped with a quantum singularity core instead of relying on antimatter. Voyager would have been trivial. Even if you don't want to power your ship with a blackhole, you could use some inert super-dense material to store the energy as mass, and that energy density would likely be way better than the antimater/matter reactors.
Found the secret Romulan
except romulans still need to feed the black hole with some kind of material, so its not a true blackhole that can be used to generate power indefinitely, like in stargate. apparently thier power source is less efficient than federation warp cores.
